Isaiah Bond, undrafted wide receiver, signed with the Cleveland Browns on a three-year, fully guaranteed deal worth 3.018 million after the Collin County grand jury issued a no bill on sexual assault charges. Cleveland stressed thorough due‑diligence in evaluating him, including polygraph results and extensive pre‑draft discussions. Bond joins a Browns receiver group that already includes Jerry Jeudy, Diontae Johnson and Cedric Tillman, creating a crowded, potentially high‑upside pass game.

Bond totaled 82 catches for 722 yards and nine touchdowns between Alabama and Texas, highlighting a productive single season in college. The Browns’ commitment signals a belief in his ability to operate in a professional setting despite the off‑field scrutiny. The arrangement also positions him for immediate competition, with Jeudy, Johnson and Tillman likely handling primary targets while Bond develops into a role player with special teams value.

The Browns are adding Isaiah Bond, a former Texas receiver, on a 3-year, $3.018 million fully guaranteed deal after a grand jury declined to indict him on a sexual assault charge. Bond’s signing follows Cleveland’s due-diligence process, including side-by-side case review and an independent polygraph result, per GM Andrew Berry. Bond, who ran a blazing 4.39 at the combine, is expected to bring elite speed to a Browns receiving corps that has limited NFL production beyond Jerry Jeudy’s star-level ceiling.

The Cleveland Browns have signed Isaiah Bond to a three-year, fully guaranteed contract, a move that adds speed and a high-upside playmaker to an unsettled wide receiver group. Bond, who transferred from Alabama to Texas, went undrafted after allegations that were later no-billed, clearing the way for a team to take a chance on the former Longhorn. Bond’s speed gives Cleveland a potential big-play option in a room already featuring Jerry Jeudy, Cedric Tillman, Diontae Johnson, Jamari Thrash and Gage Larvadain.

Bond’s collegiate line isn’t explosive on the surface — 34 catches, 540 yards and 5 TD in Texas in 2025, and a career 99 receptions for 1,428 yards across 41 games — but organizers suggest he adjusted his game to fit Texas’ system, which explains the modest box-score totals. Browns OC Tommy Rees, who coached Bond at Alabama in 2023, will help tailor Bond’s use, especially with a limited week of practice before the preseason finale vs. the Rams. The addition elevates competition and gives Cleveland a dynamic speed element to deploy behind Jeudy and Tillman, as they chase meaningful roster depth late in camp.

The Browns enter Week 1 with a roster plan built around depth and flexibility. A three-man quarterback group—Joe Flacco, Shedeur Sanders and Dillon Gabriel—creates a bridge for a Week 1 decision while preserving upside behind two talented rookies. The team has locked in a sturdy core on the offensive line and around its playmakers, then filled in around a chaotic but intriguing WR corps and a versatile backfield. The defense features a star front, stacked depth at edge and tackle, and a strong secondary anchored by Pro Bowl corners. Kicking and special teams round out a clear 53-man plan, though the piece notes as many as 17 spots could still move via trades or waivers before opening day.

On offense, the Browns lock Dawand Jones, Joel Bitonio, Ethan Pocic, Wyatt Teller and Jack Conklin along the line, with David Njoku as clear TE1. Harold Fannin Jr. adds flexibility at tight end/spot, while Jerry Jeudy, Cedric Tillman, Jamari Thrash and DeAndre Carter shape a varied receiving corps. Quinshon Judkins anchors the backfield alongside Dylan Sampson and Jerome Ford, with Sanders and Gabriel in the quarterback mix. On defense, Myles Garrett leads a front featuring Mason Graham, Maliek Collins, Mike Hall Jr., Isaiah McGuire and Alex Wright; linebackers Carson Schwesinger, Devin Bush and Mohamoud Diabate hold the middle, and Denzel Ward with Greg Newsome II patrol the corners. Grant Delpit and Ronnie Hickman hold the back end. Dustin Hopkins handles kicking, Corey Bojorquez punts, and Rex Sunahara snaps. The piece cites 36 of 53 as locked in, with late moves possible as rosters finalize.

RotoBaller tallies 2025 fantasy football outlooks for Bhayshul Tuten, Quinshon Judkins, Dylan Sampson, Matthew Golden, Jauan Jennings, Tyler Warren, Ricky Pearsall, Jack Bech, Cedric Tillman, Jayden Reed, and Jaylin Noel. Core take: evaluate rookies and veterans through a lens of offense architecture and depth charts, with a strong emphasis on redraft vs dynasty value. Golden is a Green Bay rookie in a run-heavy offense, often avoided in redraft; Tuten is a high-upside Jaguars back with a real chance to seize lead duties. Noel and Reed headline WR talent for Houston and Green Bay respectively, while Warren’s rushing upside at tight end for Indy could yield surprise value in non-PPR formats. The guide also highlights Jauan Jennings, Tillman, Pearsall, Bech and Tillman as players to monitor for mid-round value and late-season breakouts.
